A channel sales engineer is the face of Fortinet to many of our channel partners. Fortinet channel sales engineers (SEs) are responsible for technical enablement with our channel partners, helping them maximize the opportunity with Fortinet Security Fabric solutions.
Vincent Delbar, who has been with Fortinet for close to 10 years, is one such dedicated channel sales engineer.
Vincent wasn't always an SE. Before Fortinet, he worked as a security presales specialist, providing technical support for sales reps and their customers. Vincent says that his prior experience working with different cybersecurity solutions gave him the knowledge he needed to better understand how they benefited customers, an ideal skill that he has used since becoming a channel sales engineer. Recently, Vincent shared his thoughts on being a channel sales engineer and why he loves working at Fortinet.

Earlier this month, I attended 'The Growth Summit: Jobs and Opportunity for All,' hosted by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Geneva, Switzerland. The summit brought together more than 400 business, government, union, civil society, and academic leaders working across sectors and geographic boundaries to share valuable insights, develop new ideas, and engage in efforts to shape inclusive, sustainable, and resilient growth. Over two days, there were 60 sessions that addressed the uncertain and disruptive context for growth and proactive measures to advance sustainable economic growth in an inclusive, and resilient manner.
Firewalls have come a long way from their humble beginnings of assessing network traffic based on appearance alone.

And NGFWs aren't done evolving. Here are six predictions for the future of the firewall.
